Before your next youth meeting, arrange 5 or 10 things in the room in an unusual and incorrect way. If you want to get totally crazy here, hang the window blinds upside down, flip over a computer monitor - flip the tv onto its side- and have movies playing when they come in, -- be inventive; Put your shirt on backwards or inside out, etc.

Have each of the teens pair up and then challenge them to find all the things working in the youth room.

"We are the Body" Activity and Teaching Lesson

Glenn Kelley; Youth Leader - First UMC of Mt. Ephraim NJ

The day before your next youth class lay out as many pieces of white construction paper as you can get your hands on.  Place them side by side on the floor in a large rectangle.  Using a large (BLACK) magic marker write - We Are The Body and other encouraging notes across the grid.   If you have a motto for your youth group - this is a great place to put that as well.   Be sure to write this out with large bold letters. It is also important that your letters go over the grid and onto the next page whenever possible.
